A Nassau County woman and three accomplices have been charged with prescription fraud in what could be a two-year forgery scheme, according to Fernandina Beach police.

Prescription forms stolen from a Georgia doctor were passed in Fernandina Beach and elsewhere in Nassau County and may have been used in Georgia, said Capt. David Bishop of the Fernandina Beach Police Department. He said police were alerted April 9 after a pharmacy worker noticed something amiss on a hydrocodone prescription and called the doctor for verification. The doctor said the forms had been stolen and that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was already investigating the theft.
